The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 24, 1909
Sad Finish To A Joyous Occasion
One of the saddest finales to what started out as a family re-union occurred in 
Blowing Cave District in Grady county last Monday, December 20th.  On this day 
the children and grand children of Mr. J. P. Anderson, an old Vet, met with him 
to celebrate his 89th birthday.  The day was spent in pleasure and thankfulness 
for the father reaching this great age, and while the family was thus grouped 
together for the Photographer engaged for the occasion, a photograph was taken 
as a keep sake and to look upon in the future and enjoy fond recollection of 
this memorable occasion.  Alas, little did any of those present think that this 
day was to be the last but such was only too true for at twelve o'clock that 
night Mr. Anderson answered the last roll call and the spirit, released from 
its earthly tabernacle, winged its flight to join his comrades who had fought 
the battle and won the fight.

To the family of the deceased the Messenger joins numerous friends in extending 
condolence, knowing full well, that after labor comes rest, and may He who has 
taken, bind their bleeding hearts and comfort them as He only can.
